Huge hit last night! I doubled the gravy, since we love sauce. I'll definitely be trying the gravy on other meats (such as pork chops).

This is a huge favorite in my home. (I, too, double the gravy.) I have also used this for pork, lamb and beef; it's so simple and OH so delicious! This is a quick and easy "company" dish too! I wish I could add a sixth star.

I found this in the Comfort Food Diet cookbook... very easy and tasty. I would cut back on the salt in the sauce, it was a little salty for us. But overall concept and taste was very yummy and easy!! Thanks again!

This is really a great recipe! The gravy is almost drinkable, it's so good! LOL! I've made this numerous times. I always double the gravy, and there is never any left over. I recommend this recipe all the time.

I love this recipe, and I have made it countless times. It's so easy, only one pan! I think this gravy would be great on pork chops, too!

I cut this down for 2, which was easy to do. Lots of flavor and so easy. Because it only involves 1 pan its great for camping in the motorhome.
